NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Since the law appropriating j:o,ooo for
building a wagon road in Tillamook
county was declared unconstitutional, the
public seem imbued with the idea that
the legislature has no authority to appro
priate funds for the construction of pub
lic highways. This is a wrong conclusion.
Had this been the idea of theframers of
our constitution, why does it read, under
subdivision 7, section 23, article 4, "The
legislative assembly shall not pass speciai,
or local laws in any of the following
enumerated cases, that is to say 7.
For laying, opening and working on high
ways, and for the election or appoint
ment of supervisors."
Had it been the intention of the con
stitutional convention to inhibit the ap
propriation of public funds for the pur
pose of constructing roads the section in
question would read: "The legislative
assembly shall not pass laws for laying
and working on highways." From the
presence of the words "local and special,"
' we know that there was no intention to
. restrict the passage of laws appropriating
funds for the construction of highways,
from which benefits would accrue to the
general public. It will be admitted that
any act that is special or local in its oper
ation would come directly under the pro
hibition of the clause cited. It must be
admitted on the other hand, however,
that the constitution contemplated the
construction of roads by state aid, in
which the community at large had an in
terest. Roads connecting two great or
remote sections of the state, where the
benefits and advantages are not confined
exclusively to persons and property situ
ated along their routes, would come un
der this head.
In the case of Maxwell vs. Tillamook
county, reported in the 20th Oregon,
Judge Lord held the law to be unconsti
tional. In rendering the opinion he says:
"The law is intended to aid Tillamook
county and no other; it specifically names
that county as its beneficiary, and con
templates no broader or other applica
tion of its benefits. Tim act was
made to aid that particular county to
build that particular road. It applies
specifically to it, and operates only with
in its boundaries. Such a law is in no
sense general, but wholly special, within
the meaning of all the authorities. It
seems to us that it would be difficult to
imagine a clearer case of special legisla
tiou." The people of Eastern and Western
Oregon want a road that will connect
these two sections of the state. They
know that a road built over the moun
tains from the end of track on the Ore
gon Pacific would be of inestimable bene
fit to the community at large. It would
increase the mail facilities of the entire
Inland Empire to a marked degree. It
would shorten the distance to market by
75 miles, and materially lessen the cost
of transportation. In its operation the
road would directly effect one hundred
thousand people and millions of dollars
worth of property. Any legislation
which will directly effect one-fourth of
the population of Oregon, will indirectly
benefit the whole state. A bill appropri
ating $20,000, for this purpose, would be
general in its nature, not local, because
in the operation of such a road, the sphere
of its usefulness and influence would not
be confined to a special or specified lo
cality, but would be a benefit to both sec
tions of the state, and, therere, a mat
ter of general concern. For this reason
it would seem that the Tillamook road
case cited above would have no bearing
on the road in question. The Gazette
believes such a bill would be entirely con
stitutional, and, further, that a more mer
itorious measure was never introduced in
to the Oregon legislature.
There is some talk that the legislature
will attempt to abrogate the franchises
granted the Oregon Pacific several years
ago. Whether these agitators are doing
this through ignorance, or with a view to
hastening a sale of the properties, is a
matter of conj ecture. Many people seem
to confound the legislative function of
the government with that of the judicial
or executive department. The legisla
ture has power to pass laws, and also
power to repeal certain legislative acts,
but it has no moral or legal right to abro
gate franchises. It is the function of the
judicial branch of the government to ad
judicate the rights of parties, so, if it is
possible to annul these franchises, it can
be done only by the courts. If the agita
tors of this matter will bring about
a speedy sale of the road to parties
who will place it on a solid basis and ex
tend the line eastward, no one can object
to it; but, if, on the other hand, through
some hook or crook, the matter should
get into the courts, the result might be a
public calamity. Agitation of this sub
ject wiir probably result in no good
to anyone, and the least said about it, the
better.
When Eastern Oregon is once connect
ed with the Oregon Pacific, by means of
a wagon road, persons who receive their
mail at the Three Sisters' post office will
be able to get Monday's Oregonian on
Tuesday. Now, they receive it on Thurs
day evening

The following from the St. Helens
Mist was copied by the Sunday Oregoni
an. The Gazette also reprints it, not
because of its worth, for it has none, but
merely to show how utterly at sea some
papers of this state are, in regard to the
school book question:
"The American Book Company are
supposed to be at the bottom of the pro-
I posed change in the school books in Ore
! gon. The school book trust is a gigantic
monopoly and can afford to spend large
sums of money in order to bring about a
change in text books, but if the school
authorities will look well to the interests
of the people, we believe no change will
be made this year. We do not want to
be understood as being opposed to pro
gress in the public school system, but we
do contend that such a change at this
time would be unwise."
This "misty" editor no doubt supposes
he has entered a vigorous kick against
the "school book trust," and that he has
done the "gigantic monopoly" to a stand
still. For his edification, it might be
well to state that the American Book
Company has been furnishing the text
books used in our public s:hools for the
past several years. During the coming
winter, the thirty-two county superin
tendents and the nine men constituting
the state board of education will, by bal
lot, select the text books for use in our
public schools during the six years be
ginning next fall. The books now used
give general satisfaction. With one ex
ception Brook's mental arithmetic
they are American Book Company publi
cations. A change in text books will
cost the school patrons of Oregon not
less than $250,000. During the past year
the company has made a voluntary re
duction often per cent in the price of all
publications it is furnishing. A similar
reduction will also be made by the state
board in the arrangement of schedules
for the guidance of bidders, who contem
plate securing the contract for furnishing
the books during the next six years. It
is very probable and even certain, that
the American Book Company is not in
the state simply for its health. It has a
business established, pays taxes iu the
state, maintains a large store in Porland,
has a manager and several assistants em
ployed, and has a large trade built up,
which it naturally enough wishes to re
tain. In so far as the Portland branch of
the business is concerned, it is essentially
an Oregon institution, and the tirades of
abuse which break out here and there
against the company, simply because it
has enjoyed the exclusive right of fur
nishing the school patrons of the state
with text books, and wishes to continue
the business six years longer, evidence
poor judgment, to say the least. It is to
be hoped that the editor of the St. Helens
Mist will post himself on the school law
and its workings before writing any more
editorials on the American Book Compa
ny. By doing so, he will avoid the pub
lication of such a senseless item as the
one cited above.
The attention of the city council is
called to subdivision 8, section 37, chap
ter 5, of the charter of Corvallis, the con
ditions of which are broken continually
by the proprietors of the dive known as
the Palace saloon. For some time past,
this place has been the common loafing
resort of all the thugs, toughs and bums
that frequent our city. It is a constant
and increasing menace to the peace and
dignity of this community, and its license
should be revoked without delay. It is,
without doubt, the most corrupting in
fluence in town. More cases of drunken
ness and disgraceful brawls are reported
from this joint than from all our seven
saloons combined. Only last Saturday
night, it was the scene of a brutal fight
in which one of the proprietors got him
self most gloriously pommeled. No ar
rests were made, arid the nefarious busi
ness is permitted to continue uninter
rupted. It is a burning disgrace to allow
this business to go on as it has in the
past The public has been outraged long
enoagh by its existence. It is stamped
with the disapproval of every moral, law
abiding citizen of the community, who
now demands, in no uncertain tones, the
revocation of the license which permits
the concern to exsist.
The fight made against the American
Book Company does not flavor of honesty
of purpose on the part of those who are
really waging the war. A peep behind
the scenes will disclose the fact that the
whole fight is the result of a combination
effected among rival dealers to drive
the company out of the field in order that
the combine may keep up the price of
books. The American Book Company is
serving the interests of 400,000 people
ot the state, while this unholy alliance,
that is seeking to force them out of the
state, are merely attempting to forward
their own selfish interests at all hazards.

OUR WAGON ROAD PEOJECT.
Legislators Reply to the Ga
zette's Circular Letter Many
Favorable Opinions.
Two weeks ago the Gazette contained an
editorial advocatiug an appropriation of
$20,000 by the next legislature, to bts used
iu constructing a w agon road across the
mountains from the present end of the Ore
gon PaciGc track, to connect with a road on
the other side of the divide leading to
Priuevilie. Marked copies of the paper
were sent to members of the legislature liv
ing iu P!k, Liu coin, Marion, Li 11 11, Laue
and Benton counties, on this side of the
mountains, also to members in the counties
of Lake, Klamath, Harney, Malheur,
Grant and Crojk, in Eastern Oregon. To
each of these legislators was also mailed a
circular letter asking whether or not a bill
appropriating sufficient money for the pur
pose iu question would receive their support
in the next legislative assembly. Many of
theso gentlemen have replied already and
generally speaking, they favor the plan,
but seem impressed with the idea that
wagon road appropair.tion bills are uncon
stitutional and cite the case of Maxwell vs.
Tillamook county, reporteJ in the 20th Or
gou, in support of their theory. In an
other column of this issue the Gazette has
endeavored to show that the case cited has
reference only to local roads and not to
those whose operation would prove a benefit
to a large portion of the state. By united
effort on the part of members from the
counties mentioned, the bill can be passed.
There have been few measures brought up
in the legislature of this state whoso pas
sage proved of such vast benefit to Eastern
Oregon as would the one in question. Such
a bill will be constitutional because the road
would vitally effect the interests of at least
one hundred thousand people, besides mil
lions f dollars worth of property.
THE GAZETTE'S CIRCULAR LETTER.
Corvallis, Oregon, Sept. 25, 1891.
Dear Sir: Under separate cover we
mail you - today a marked copy of the GA
ZETTE calling attention to a plan for connect
ing Eastern Oregou with the Oregon Pacific
railroad by wagon road. This is a matter
of vital importance to all sections of the
stats. Before proceeding further we would
be pleased to know whether a bill appropri
ating a sufficient sum for the purpose in
question, would receive your support in the
next legislature. An early reply will
oblige, Yours truly,
Gazette Pcblisiunq Company,
By B. W. Johnson, Manager.
Hon. W. H. Ilobson, of Stayton, Linn
county, writes of the plan as follows:
The building of a wagon road connect-
Eastern Oregon with the O. P. R. It. would
be a capital thing and relieve those people
of much trouble iu reaching San Francisco or
Portlaud, beside bringing much revenue to
our stato for the entire line would soon be
peopled and mills would be built and
ranches opened 11 p. I doubt the con
stitutionality of the state appropriating
funds for such an enterprise. I am, as an
individual, in favor of building sueh a road
but imagine the legislature cau'fc appropri
ate. Senator Tolbert Carter, of Wells, writes:
In answer to your first question, I an
swer yes; but for the state to undertake
cipher plan, that will take more time for
consideration and thought than I have given
the matter so far, and will further say that
so far as I am concerned, I dou't intend to
forget the howl that was sent op during the
last canvass of retrenchment! retrenchment!
from every precinct and every throat in two
counties, but in conclusion, will add that I
intend doing as I think best for both peo
pie and state without the fear of punish
ment or hope of reward, both in the case
under consideration, and all others that
may be brought up for action.
Hon. Chas. B. Moores, of Salem, would
like to assist, bat feels that he could not
support the measure, as he believes it to be
unconstitutional. He writes:
The enterprise to which you refer is one
of great importance to the valley counties,
as well as to Eastern Oregon, and I would
be glad to assist in any measure looking to
wards its consummation, but as I under
stand it, the legislature has no power to
make the appropriation you suggest. The
question was passed upon by "the supreme
court in the cose of J. W. Maxwell vs,
Tillamook county, which is reported in 20th
Oregon. For this reason I could not sup
port any appropriation for building the pro
posed wagon road, notwithstanding its great
importance.
Hon. A. J. Johnson, of Scio, speaks
rather favorably. He says:
I must continue to refuse pledging myself
to support or oppose any measure, .but will
say that I would like Tery much to see
some such project completed, and after
thoroughly investigating the proposition, I
would do what I thought to be for the besj
interests of the state at large, as well as for
my constituents.
Hon. S. L. Moorehead, of Junction City,
admits the anvantages, but believes times
are too hard. He says:
While I am free to admit the many ad
vantages to be derived from a connecting
link with Eastern Oregon, the depressed
conditien of the taxpayers of the state,
whose burden is already oppressive, would
prevent me from supporting the measure.
To do so would'simply open the door for other
like enterprises and onr people are not in
condition to stand an appropriation of one
unnecessary dollar. '
Hon. Henry L. Barkley writes from
Wood burn as follows:
Permit me to state that I shall favor any
bill the object of which is the benefit of the
people, and is in harmony with our present
financial condition.
From Senator B. F. Alley, of Florence,
Lane county, to whom the residents of
Corvallis are under many obligations for
defeating the bill creating the connty of
Blaine, we received the following:
"I will call your attention to the decis
ion of the supreme court in the Maxwell
Tillamook case. Admitting the benefits
of such appropriation, has the legislature
the legal right to make it?"

FROM J3I,K CITY'S WOOIIY WIDS.
Although this little place has been favor
ed with many valuable improvements of late
a rival trading point has sprung up at the
Pioneer stone quarry, two and one-half
miles further up the Yaquiua river, on the
railroad, at the intersection of the Newport
and Elk City wagon roads. Buildings for a
postofSce, express office and general mer
chandise store are under course of construc
tion, aud the numerous small, new dwellings,
with now and then a tent, remind one, as
he glances np the narrow canyon, of a min
ing camp in the days of '49. The stone in
dustry, at this poiut, already gives employ
ment to about forty men, but, whether the
future growth and prosperity of Pioneer will
tend to help or injure Elk City, time alone
can tell.
Elk City has had several distinguished
pleasure-seeking visitors during the past
season, and owing to the excellent fishing
(the season i3 now most favorable) many are
remaining, and a few are still coming.
Among recent arrivals, is Night-Offiicer Mc
Lagan, who strings his share of the finny
tribe. Ol.'s many friends in Corvallis will
be surprised to learn that he has made his de
but as a sleight-of-hand performer. His first
appearance upon the stage was in this city,
last Saturday evening, with the Prof. Lewis
combination, noWenroute for Corvallis.
Although we have long since been divided
into a county of our own, we fiud that to
get the news we must still look to dear old
Benton, for in our last week's official county
paper, the Lincoln Leader, appeared the fol
lowing local: ''It is expected that 16,000
car-loads of exhibits will be received at the
grounds of the world's fair between now and
the 1st of May." Surely our county is not
that far behind the times.
We Lincolnite3 are sometimes sneered at,
because we live in the burnt woods, eat
clams, and because we live in Lincoln
county. True enough, we may have a few
old-timers, "squatted" on their burnt-wood
claims, who live on, and livo on, and have
nothing to live on, but if we can't raise
wheat (at twenty-five cents a bushel) our
natural resources must not be over looked ;
such as our half-dozen or more rock quarries,
three in active operation, with one running
night and day crews. Then, our trout fish
ing alone, gives employment to many. One
dollar per dozen is paid by the Portland
markets for salmon trout delivered on the
train at this place; and a good fisherman
often catches five or six dozen a day.
About the only thing saved out of the
ruins of the burnt dwelling of P. N. Lathrop
a few weeks ago, notice of which appeared
in your paper at the time, was a small lump
of gold, which is all that is left of a gold
medal, presented to Mr. Lathrop by the
government, for assisting in the burial of
that president after whom this county was
named. Mr. Lathrop was a commissioned
officer on Joe Hooker's staff, and was de
tailed from Springfield, 111., to Washington,
to assist on that memorable occasion. Mr.
Lathrop is an own cousin of Stanford, nee
Lathrop, widow of the late Leland Stanford,
of Calif., but has a large family, and is iu
needy financial circumstances, and the gen
erous community have contributed liberally
and started the family into house keeping
again. Moss.

Prof. Lewis, assisted by his handsome

two pleasing and womleiful performances.
The professor kept faith with the public,
presenting more new aud startling features
than he advertised. It would be impossible
to describe the dazzling splendor of the cost

A SUFFERING CHILD
Head and Scalp Raw with
Places Size of Silver Dollar. Va
rious Remedies only caused Fresh
Eruptions. Applied CUTICURA.
Change in Twenty-four Hours. -Perfect
Cure In Two 'Weeks.
Mv little son, aged three, was Tery much
troubled with a breaking out on his scalp
and behind his ear. The places affected were
about as large as a silver dollar; the flesh
seemed raw and covered with little blisters.
The child suffered considerably, and was nat
urally very fretful. I tried several remedies
without obtaining any beneficial results : in
fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. I concluded to
try the Cutioura Remedies. I washed tho
affected parts with the Coticuba Soap, tak
ing care nut to irritate the flesh, and applied
Cutiocba. 1 noticed a change for the better
in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty
four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions
entirely disappeared, leaving the skin smooth,
and the scalp clean; in fact a perfect cure,
as I have not seen any indications of any
eruption or breaking out since. I gave tho
child only a few doses of the Cutiooba Re
solvent. I consider your Ccttcuba Reme
dies very valuable. I believe Ccticuba,
would beexcellentforapplying to insect bites,
which are very annoying in this country.
